Yippee! We got some rain today! It was pouring this morning when I got up and I can pretend that was the reason I took a taxi instead of walking, but that would be a lie. I'd already decided the night before to be lazy so the rain was just an added excuse. We got more than an inch of rain over the course of the day and it was such a relief. My guilty hope is that we get enough rain so that the apartment's swimming pool gets filled up soon.

Lee and I have faced the dilemma of finding a good fruit store close enough to walk to and today we found one that just opened. It's conveniently right on the way home from work so we stopped today and stocked up. For US$10 we got apples, kiwi, mangoes, guava and a whole pineapple. We skipped the durian...

 but I did have this nice young man cut up my pineapple...
